When I was a teenager I wanted to write scripts for television when I grew up. When I was having my midlife crisis, I dabbled at the thought of trying it again, but [livejournal.com profile] kathlaw talked me out of it. In the meantime, here is the first movie my best friend Tracey and I did together. We had just taken the public library's class on using the video camera (black and white, reel to reel) and video editing to make movies, when our English teacher assigned our class to do a project. What a great time to make a movie, we thought. The class was a Western literature class, meaning we read Westerns, and we'd had a lesson on the biggest cliches in Westerns. This movie has all of them. (The title is one we couldn't figure out how to dramatize.)

I give you The Cavalry Comes Over the Hill.

What a hoot! It's both charming and hmmm, not sure the word, filled with promise of great things to come? Maybe Chaz knows the word. Potential-ful? Just a delight to watch those young actors, not to mention the storytelling of the script. Instead of a single plot line, you've woven several strands together, giving what could have been a tedious student exercise some depth and complexity.

I love the cow.

My friend Coke and I made "It Came From a Test Tube", our horror/science fiction/detective/thriller/musical, in similar fashion (though in color). I showed it to [livejournal.com profile] kateelliott (who bravely made it all the way through its entire thirty minutes), whose response was, "It's well written." That made me happy.

It's on YouTube, in three parts, if you want to search for it....
